Darth Revan was one of the most conflicted characters in Star Wars. Yet, much of his dark side inclination did not stem from a desire for power, but rather his dissatisfaction with the Jedi Orthodoxy. Like Luke Skywalker, Revan believed that the light side's greatest strength over the dark side was love, compassion, and attachment, emotions that the Sith shunned in favour of utter selfishness. If used correctly, these positive emotions could amplify one's force potential to a far greater degree than any dark side power. However, like the Sith, the Jedi rejected love and attachment due to fear, therefore weakening the Jedi until Grand Master Luke Skywalker changed this outdated rule.
